SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Mar. 4, 2019 - Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

"We had another year of outstanding revenue growth, surpassing $13 billion in revenue faster than any other enterprise software company in history," said Marc Benioff, chairman and co-CEO, Salesforce. "As companies of all sizes turn to Salesforce, we're enabling them to put the customer at the center of their digital transformation through our intelligent Customer 360 platform. I've never been more excited about the opportunity ahead."

“Our relentless focus on delivering innovation and customer success has fueled our growth and solidified our leadership in the enterprise,” said Keith Block, co-CEO, Salesforce. “This is just the beginning, which is why we're now targeting $26 to $28 billion in revenue by FY23 – organically doubling our revenue again in the next four years.”

Salesforce delivered the following results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2019:

Revenue: Total fourth quarter revenue was $3.60 billion, an increase of 26% year-over-year, and 27% in constant currency. Subscription and support revenues were $3.38 billion, an increase of 26% year-over-year. Professional services and other revenues were $228 million, an increase of 16% year-over-year.

Full fiscal year 2019 revenue was $13.28 billion, an increase of 26% year-over-year, and 26% in constant currency. Subscription and support revenues were $12.41 billion, an increase of 27% year-over-year. Professional services and other revenues were $869 million, an increase of 12% year-over-year.

Earnings per Share: Fourth quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.46, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.70. GAAP diluted earnings per share benefited by $0.17 related to the net benefit of tax adjustments. Mark-to-market accounting of the company’s strategic investments, required by ASU 2016-01, benefited GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.12 based on the US tax rate of 25% and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.12 based on our non-GAAP tax rate of 21.5%.

For fiscal year 2019, GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.43, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $2.75. Mark-to-market accounting of the company’s strategic investments, required by ASU 2016-01, benefited GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.52 based on the US tax rate of 25% and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.55 based on our non-GAAP tax rate of 21.5%.

Cash: Cash generated from operations for the fourth quarter was $1.33 billion, an increase of 27% year-over-year. Cash generated from operations for the full fiscal year 2019 was $3.40 billion, an increase of 24% year-over-year. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities ended the fourth quarter at $4.34 billion.

Remaining Performance Obligation: Remaining performance obligation, representing future revenues that are under contract but have not yet been recognized, ended the fourth quarter at approximately $25.7 billion, an increase of 25% year-over-year. This includes approximately $450 million related to the remaining performance obligation from MuleSoft. Current remaining performance obligation, which represents the future revenues under contract expected to be recognized over the next 12 months, ended the fourth quarter at approximately $11.9 billion, an increase of 24% year-over-year.

Unearned Revenue: Unearned revenue on the balance sheet as of January 31, 2019 was $8.56 billion, an increase of 22% year-over-year, and 24% in constant currency.

As of March 4, 2019, the company is initiating revenue, earnings per share and current remaining performance obligation growth guidance for its first quarter of fiscal year 2020. For the full fiscal year 2020, the company is raising its revenue guidance previously provided November 27, 2018, and is initiating earnings per share guidance and operating cash flow growth guidance. The guidance below assumes no change to the value of our strategic investment portfolio resulting from ASU 2016-01 as it is not possible to forecast future gains and losses. While historically our investment portfolio has had a positive impact on our financial results, that may not be true for future periods, particularly in periods of significant market fluctuations that affect the publicly traded companies within our strategic investment portfolio. The impact of future gains or losses from our strategic portfolio could be material. In addition, the guidance below is based on estimated GAAP tax rates that reflect the company’s currently available information, and exclude discrete tax items such as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The GAAP tax rates may fluctuate due to future acquisitions or other transactions.



	Q1 FY20 Guidance	Full Year FY20 Guidance
Revenue	$3.67 - $3.68 billion	$15.95 - $16.05 billion
Y/Y Growth	22%	20% - 21%
GAAP EPS	$0.10 - $0.11	$0.66 - $0.68
Non-GAAP EPS	$0.60 - $0.61	$2.74 - $2.76
Operating Cash Flow Growth (Y/Y)	N/A	20% - 21%
Current Remaining Performance Obligation Growth (Y/Y)	~24%	N/A

The following is a per share reconciliation of GAAP diluted earnings per share to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance for the next quarter and the full year:



	Fiscal 2020
	Q1			FY2020
GAAP EPS range*	$0.10 - $0.11			$0.66 - $0.68
Plus
Amortization of purchased intangibles	$	0.16		$	0.58
Stock-based expense	$	0.43		$	1.84
Less
Income tax effects and adjustments**	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.34	)
Non-GAAP diluted EPS***	$0.60 - $0.61			$2.74 - $2.76

Shares used in computing basic net income per share (millions)	773			784
Shares used in computing diluted net income per share (millions)	797			809

* The company's GAAP tax provision is expected to be approximately 40% for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and approximately 40% for the year ended January 31, 2020. The GAAP tax rates may fluctuate due to discrete items, future acquisitions or other transactions. The company's projected GAAP basic and diluted EPS assumes no change to the value of our strategic investment portfolio resulting from ASU 2016-01 as it is not possible to forecast future gains and losses.

** The company's non-GAAP tax provision uses a long-term projected tax rate of 22.5%, which reflects currently available information and could be subject to change.

*** The company's projected non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS assumes no change to the value of our strategic investment portfolio resulting from ASU 2016-01 as it is not possible to forecast future gains and losses.

For additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures see the reconciliation of results and related explanations below.

(2) The Company raised $2.5 billion in a public offering of unsecured debt in April 2018 in connection with the acquisition of MuleSoft, Inc. which closed in May 2018. Total cash paid in May 2018 in connection with the acquisition was approximately $4.9 billion. The Company's 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes matured in April 2018 and the Company paid the principal amount due at that time. The Company repaid the $500 million 2019 Term Loan in full in January 2019.

(3) The strategic investments balance as of January 31, 2019, October 31, 2018, July 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018 includes the fair value adjustments of the Company's publicly traded and privately held equity investments as the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10)" on February 1, 2018. See discussion below for further details on the fair value adjustments.

(4) January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 information has been adjusted for the adoption of Topic 606, which the Company adopted on February 1, 2018. Topic 606 introduced unearned revenue, which is substantially similar to deferred revenue under previous accounting guidance, except for the removal of the limitation on contingent revenue.

Supplemental Revenue Analysis

Remaining Performance Obligation (Formerly "Remaining Transaction Price")

Topic 606 introduced remaining transaction price, which is different than unbilled deferred revenue under previous accounting guidance. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, average contract terms and foreign currency exchange rates. Unbilled portions of the remaining transaction price denominated in foreign currencies are revalued each period based on the period end exchange rates.

As with unbilled deferred revenue under previous accounting guidance, the portion of the remaining performance obligation that is unbilled is not recorded on the balance sheet. Remaining performance obligation consisted of the following (in billions):



	Current		Noncurrent		Total
As of January 31, 2019	$	11.9	$	13.8	$	25.7
As of October 31, 2018	$	10.0	$	11.2	$	21.2
As of July 31, 2018	$	9.8	$	11.2	$	21.0
As of April 30, 2018	$	9.6	$	10.8	$	20.4
As of January 31, 2018	$	9.6	$	11.0	$	20.6

Constant Currency Growth Rates

The Company presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how the Company's underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the quarter being compared to for growth rate calculations presented, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during that period.

Revenue constant currency growth rates (as compared to the comparable prior periods as adjusted for Topic 606) were as follows:



	Three Months Ended January 31, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended January 31, 2018	Three Months Ended October 31, 2018 compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2017	Three Months Ended January 31, 2018 compared to Three Months Ended January 31, 2017

Supplemental Strategic Investment Information

Gains on strategic investments, net

Upon the prospective adoption of ASU 2016-01 in the first fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company is now required to record all fair value adjustments of the Company's publicly traded and privately held equity investments through the statement of operations. As such, the Company anticipates additional volatility to the Company's statements of operations in future periods, due to changes in market prices of the Company's investments in publicly held equity investments and the valuation and timing of observable price changes and impairments of the Company's investments in privately held securities. These changes could be material based on market conditions and events. The results for the current fiscal period are not indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes information about non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP tax rates and constant currency revenue and constant currency unearned revenue growth rates (collectively the “non-GAAP financial measures”). These non-GAAP financial measures are measurements of financial performance that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the company’s performance.

The primary purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate the company’s results in the same way management does. Management believes that supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure provides investors with a more complete view of the company’s operational performance and allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the company’s business. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating non-GAAP measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP information can allow for a comparison of the company’s relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP operating results.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes, to the extent applicable, the impact of the following items: stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and previously the net amortization of debt discount on the company’s convertible senior notes, as well as income tax adjustments. These items are excluded because the decisions that give rise to them are not made to increase revenue in a particular period, but instead for the company’s long-term benefit over multiple periods.

Specifically, management is excluding the following items from its non-GAAP earnings per share, as applicable, for the periods presented in the Q4 FY19 financial statements and for its non-GAAP estimates for Q1 and FY20:

•

Stock-Based Expenses: The company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and at long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period.

•

Amortization of Purchased Intangibles: The company views amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s research and development efforts, trade names, customer lists and customer relationships, and in some cases, acquired lease intangibles, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are continually evaluated for impairment, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is a static expense, one that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.

•

Gains on Strategic Investments, net: Upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 on February 1, 2018, the company is required to record all fair value adjustments to its equity securities held within the strategic investment portfolio through the statement of operations. As it is not possible to forecast future gains and losses, the company assumes no change to the value of its strategic investment portfolio in its GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for future periods.

•

Income Tax Effects and Adjustments: The company utilizes a fixed long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across the interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of items such as changes in the tax valuation allowance and tax effects of acquisition-related costs, since each of these can vary in size and frequency. When projecting this long-term rate, the company evaluated a three-year financial projection that excludes the direct impact of the following non-cash items: stock-based expenses, amortization of purchased

intangibles, and previously the amortization of debt discount. The projected rate also assumes no new acquisitions in the three-year period, and considers other factors including the company’s expected tax structure, its tax positions in various jurisdictions and key legislation in major jurisdictions where the company operates. For fiscal 2019, the company used a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 21.5 percent. For fiscal 2020, the company uses a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 22.5 percent, which reflects currently available information, as well as other factors and assumptions. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in the company’s geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to the company’s strategy or business operations. The company will re-evaluate its long-term rate as appropriate.
